Poll: MacRumours or MacRumors?

[sushi]

Whatever arn wants it to be.

Seriously, it's his site and name. Not a democracy. Regardless of what anybody wants, it's his site and call.

But Rumours is more the international standard.

But this is an American site, and an International standard should not affect the spelling of a name on an American site about a company that is based in America, with the majority of its visitors being from America. And plus, I believe that the u is more of a British standard, and not an international standard, but I may be wrong on that point.

 

[edesignuk]

I'm struggling to believe that anyone could possibly imagine for one second that their opinion in favour of adding the u even matters.

MacRumors.com is a strong brand now, it won't be changing. Never mind the fact it's a US site, and yada-yada-yada...

 

[rdowns]

MacRumors, as e said, is a pretty popular brand. You don't go around changing the spelling to accommodate some random Internet posts.

On second though, maybe all companies should add random vowels to their names.

Gougle
Yahou!

Not a democracy.

Why does every one dislike good-old Greek democracy?

Fine work.

Why does every one dislike good-old Greek democracy?

No, you're quite right. I think we should look at the poll results and change it to that.

Oh, wait...

 

[rdowns]

Fine work.

Thank you La.

(Hey, if we can add random vowels, we can take them away too)

 

[iJohnHenry]

I voted for the "U", but like childbirth, this cannot be undone.

The bookmarks, links, etc, would be a nightmare to fix.

For everyone, not just arn.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

...MacRumors is the standard English spelling of the the word.

'Rumors' isn't the standard English way of spelling that word though, it's the standard 'American English' spelling. But as this is an American site, Rumors it is and as it should be.
